Verdict
The Hannon yard has a good record in this and 130,000gns purchase Misterioso looks to have the best of chance of the stable's three runners with Richard Hughes on board. But MARCANO will be no pushover as his debut third to Ardaay is strong form with the two ahead of him running well at Ascot recently and the fourth having subsequently won. Rod Millman's colt is also preferred to Sandown sixth Classic Villager and gets the nod. Bellajeu is a half-sister to the useful Lat Hawill and is another newcomer to note.
